Scheduled for Thursday, April 18, 2013, the 28th Annual Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony will be held at the Nokia Theatre L.A. LIVE in Los Angeles. This marks the first time since 1993 that the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony will be held on the West Coast. The ceremony will again be open to the public, as it was in 2009 and 2012 in Cleveland.

Joel Peresman, President and CEO of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation, said, “We are thrilled to announce this year’s class of inductees, which again represents the broad, compelling and significant definition of rock and roll.”

The induction ceremony will broadcast on HBO on Saturday, May 18 at 9pm ET/PT. Said Michael Lombardo, President of HBO Programming, "We are excited to team up once again with the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for what is sure to be an incredible evening of one-of-a-kind performances.”

So happy that Heart finally made it in!! After watching the performance of "Stairway to Heaven" at the Kennedy Honors for Led Zepplin, I remembered how much I LOVE Heart!! Ann Wilson is one of the greatest voices in music ever, male or female. And Their music(especially in the 70's) is genuinely amazing!

Few topics cause rock fans to argue like the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Its most vociferous critics (such as That Metal Show host Eddie Trunk) feel it's been terribly unkind to prog and metal, while others feel that rap and pop acts like ABBA and Madonna have no place in there. Many fans would simply like to see more post-punk groups like the Smiths, Joy Division and Sonic Youth get a nod. Last week, the long-overlooked acts Rush and Randy Newman finally entered the Hall of Fame. We asked our readers to vote for the act they'd most like to see get inducted next year.

Metal should have their own Hall of Fame, Or at least some individual that changed Heavy metal Scene like Tony Iommi or even Jon Lord, and Neil Peart.

You should watch Alice in Chains and Gretchen Wilson (With Nancy Wilson) cover on Barracuda.

well I think rocknroll is pretty much including evruthing except the very POP scene.
reggae, r'n'b, metal, punk, post-punk, ska, blues, jazz....all of them are part of rocknroll as the hall of fame mean it.

anyway no black flag? no bad brains? after 30 years they should know how those bands were seminal for a lot of bands that are already in. especially for the flags, they kinda inspired modern rock one way or another.
